Multiple DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping in spring config file?

[npottrain]

Hi,

is it possible to define multilpe DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping beans?

I would like to define two of them(one with interceptors, one without).

If this is possible, how do I specify which controllers are handled by DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping A and DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping B?

Kind regards,

Nicolas

There doesn't seem to be a way to configure that. There are other handler mapping strategies you can use besides the DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping. For example the ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping. It works in combination with method-relative @RequestMapping annotations.

For example:
/pet/show -> PetController.show()

where

@Controller
public class PetController {
    
    @RequestMapping
    public void show() {
        ...
    }

}

This has the advantage of making it easy to find the controller method given a URL, something that's much harder to guess with an all annotations approach.

Allow multiple DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping beans - move AbstractControllerUrlHandlerMapping.isEligibleForM apping(..) to AbstractDetectingUrlHandlerMapping
